Becky, wonderful pictures, glad that you had a good ride!

Well I'm back from the barn, and it was just terrible all around. I was looking forward to going beacuse I had a rough day at work and was exhausted, and I get there, and the snotty woman with the warmblood that she won't ride because she's afraid of it was there, and she was standing there with him with his legs wrapped, which I thought was odd. (Keep in mind I have NEVER seen this woman ride this horse, EVER. All she does is groom him.) So I go and grab the appy and come in the barn and such, and someone came in with a trailer who she greeted, and I said "Oh, who's that?" because I'm not familiar with everyone who's there.
So she looked at me and said: "GEE you're really behind the eightball today! The woman is coming to ship my HORSE!"

I just kind of gaped at her and said "Oh really? I'm ... sorry... I didn't see shipping boots on him."
She then said: "Oh god, I NEVER use shipping boots! They offer no protection at all! What are you talking about? CLEARLY you've NEVER shipped a horse before in your life."

"Actually," I said, I've shipped lots of horses and I've always used shipping boots."
"Well," she said, "REAL horse people don't use shipping boots."
I couldn't even come up with a comeback.
"Furthermore," she said, "I've shipped professionally with my ex-boyfried who was on the united state equestrian team, and he never used shipping boot either."
I almost kicked her in the ass. It RUINED my ride, and other things happened, and it was just terrible. Terrible.

Being in horses would be pleasant if it wasn't for the other PEOPLE you have to deal with! Especially the wimmen, right?

[HairOfTheDog]

So where's she shipping him, and is she leaving too? :~D

What a beeyotch. Give me her name and phone number.

"Well," she said, "REAL horse people don't use shipping boots."

Real horse people don't brag and put other people down. It's been my experience that the people who act like they know the most, know the least. The professional cowboys I've been around won't tell you anything unless you specifically ask.

I'm so sorry. People can be such pains. Blow it off. Obviously she's an idiot, not worth getting upset over.

I have no use for people like that. Even if she had have been right, what a snob.

[FrogInABlender]

Sorry your encounter with "Queen Bitch" ruined your day. If I'd been there, I'd've kicked her butt for you! Hopefully she took her big lummox of a horse and moved her snotty @$$ out of there for good... ;o)

LOL - REAL people have a little more class than she does, keep that in mind :)
